Norfolk Journal and Guide SCOTT OFFERS SOUTHERN LABOR TO STEEL KING Addresses Letter to Chairman of Directors of U. S. Steel Corporation Calling Attention to Unskilled Labor in the South. ASKS INDUSTRY TO USE THIS AMERICAN LABOR Washington, D.C.—Replying to the statement of Judge Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation as carried in Associated Press dispatches last week, stating that the immigration bars should be lowered so as to allow foreign labor to enter the country to develop the country's resources, as the Judge put it, Emnett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer, Howard University, and formerly special assistant to the Secretary of War during the World War, addressed a letter to Mr. Gary in which he strongly called attention to the twelve millions of Negroes in this country, the bulk of whom are laborers of the South, and are prepared and willing to develop the resources of the country if given the opportunity to do it. Mr. Scott in his letter to Judge Emnett J. Scott. I have read with interest your statement reported in Associated Press Dispatches this morning displaced all shortages of labor due principally to present immigration laws. You are reported to have said that there is a great abundance of labor on the other side of the world that would be glad to come here and develop our American resources.' May I venture to say that there is this country today twelve million colored people. Eight million of these twelve million are in South. They are citizens of the American Republic. They are tied to a one crop system and oppressed by the oppressive conditions that bind and prevent their fullest development and the enjoyment of the fullest American citizenship. They possess strong bodies and have a real patriotic attachment to American institution. They are in position to supply the 'labor shortage to which you refer if plans are undertaken on a large and important scale to transfer them to the centers where their services are needed. It seems unnecessary to look for foreign shores to supply any labor shortage that may exist in American industries when there is this large and sympathetic group within reach. These colored Americans are not aliens, they have never sought to disrupt the Government nor do they harbor Bolshevistic or Amarchist ideals. They are ready and willing to help develop the resources of their country. W. I. it not be possible for one circumstance as you are to lend the weight your great influence in the opening larger economic opportunities for this group who are struggling under severe conditions. In the rural dislocation of the far South where lynching and peonage are practiced upon them with impunity. Your support of such a movement will be gratefully appreciated. V. N. & J. I. Choral Society The Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute has for some time possessed a well trained and talented group of singers and instrumental musicians of a higher development, but its fame has remained within its walls. This year in appreciation of the body Dr. John M. Gandy principal of the school, is taking the singers on a tour including the cities of Richmond, Newport News, Suffolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk, featuring the Choral Society, Treble Clef Club and Glee Club. They will appear in this city April 27 in the auditorium of Booker T. Washington high school. The graduation exercises of the Norfolk Vocational Teacher Training Class of V. N. & W. will be held Friday April 27 at 7 o'clock in the auditorium and the Choral Club concert follows the graduation exercises at 8:15. Large audiences are expected to witness these rare treats. Williams Singers The famous Williams' Singers of Chicago will appear at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Monday night May 7. These singers have traveled all over the country and their fame is national. They have appeared in most of the large churches of the North, both white and colored when on many occasions standing room could not be secured in the house where they were to appear. READ "BLOOD MONEY" It Will Make Your Blood Tingle. Starting on Page 7 THE LADY OF THE WOODS MISS DOROTHY DOUGLASS FERREBBE has the distinction of being the first and only colored girl in the Washington City schools to receive a high rating in the National Essay Contest, subject, "My Share in Making the Highways Safe." The contestants were limited to the pupils of the seventh and eighth grades. From all of the essays written the teachers selected the three best from their classes. These were sent to the principals, who made a selection of the three best from their classes. These three were sent to the supervising principals. Of this selection the best three were sent to a committee who eliminated the number to forty-five. Still another committee eliminated all but eighteen of this number, from which the final committee selected the three best—two white contestants and Miss Ferrebee's. These essays are at present in New York with the general committee. At the time the essays were written Miss Ferrebee was a pupil of the 7-Bgrade, Luretia Mott Public School. She is at present an 8th grade pupil of the Slater-Langston Public School. The superintendents, principals and teachers, together with the pupils are congratulating Miss Dorothy quite freely and expressing much delight over her success in the contest. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Ferrebee, who formerly resided in Norfolk. Religious Sect Observes "Feast of the Passover" At sundown Friday evening there closed at Belleville, Nansenm county, about nine miles below Portsmouth on the Churchland route, the "Feast of the Lord's Passover," of the Church of God and Saints of Christ, which began at the same hour the Friday evening before. The Church of God and Saints of Christ is a deeply religious sect composed of about 5,000 members scattered all over the country, and annual "Feast of the Lord's Passover" is about the most deeply reverential ceremony practiced in modern times. For seven full days a manner of labor is performed by the celebrants, and every hour of the time is given to prayer, teaching and chanting of spiritual melodies. All food and nourishment taken must conform strictly to the East, nothing being eaten that anything like leaven in it. his half-age were between 1,000 and 1,500 members attendant at the "Feast" incoming from all sections of the country. Some came who had traveled at great personal expense from as far west as California and as far south as Florida, from the extreme North and East of the United States. They wore the uniform of the sect, the men dressed in brown Prince Albert waists and the women wearing blue sidkin waists and brown skirts and sashes with purple bonnets. The sect is led by Bishop William H. Plummer, more reverently called by his followers "Grandfather Abraham." The other dignitaries of the church among the men take the ranks of evangelists, elders and bishops and among the women of Daughters of Jerusalem, sisters of Mary, sister leaids, monks, Sarahs, Rachels, Leahs and ants. The various ranks are disguised by the insignias worn "Grandfather Abraham" wore an immaculate brown Prince Albert suit varied colors attached to the left el of his coat, from which flowed several sashes of dazzling colors, and a golden sword strapped about his waist. Most of the other men wore with their brown Prince Albert suits black sashes across the shoulder fastened with rosette and silken drapings. The services began at 10:10, continued uninterrupted until as late as 4:30 or later when there was a recess and all went and ate. The worship was resumed after eating and into the night. continued into the The meeting was held in a large new brick church that is being erected for future gatherings. This building is finished only to one story at present and a canvass roof had to be im- provided. In the day the bright sunlight penetrating the white cloth roof and reflecting its rays down on the great course of worshippers assemble in the Tabernacle with the restraining raiment and gorgeous decorations presented an unusual scene. Added to this the almost continuous prance of the congregation, called the "Shepherds," in single file through the long aisles, by an "Under Shepherd" who carried in his hand a ten-foot carved in at the end, all softly NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 "GRANDFATHER ABRAHAM" chanting a religious melody, made a scene that for reverence cannot be excelled. Visitors to the Tabernacle were treated with the utmost courtesy. No visitor was allowed to stand while a member remained seated. Users were quick to perceive the presence of a visitor and immediately commanded a member to offer the stranger a seat while he himself stood. On the great rostrum, which extended the entire width of the mammoth building were seated with "Grandfather Abraham" 107 hishops, elders and evangelists. In the center of the tabernacle, in full view of every person entering and printed in type large enough to be read from any position in the building are the Ten Commandments on a chart as large as a door. The Church of the Saints and Saints of Christ was blinded by "Prophet" Crowdy some 25 years ago. "Prophet" led the sect until his death not many years past. He was succeeded by a relative, Joseph Crowdy, who also died after a few years as reigning head of the sect. Joseph was succeeded by William H. Plummer, the present "Grandfather Abraham." Every member of the faith now wears the picture of the first leader, "Prophet" Crowdy. The rituals laid down by him are reverently adhered to until this day. Each reigning bishop is believed to be the appointee of his predecessor, and a man whom God has ordained and willed to guide them and that he has come down to them through generations of transmigration. HAS OWN HANDER The sect has a calendar of its own. And this is put down for the "Pass-over Week," April 14 to 21. Pass-over is regarded as the seventh day of the week and is observed as the Sabbath. No work can be done thereon. (Continued on Page Four) GIVEN LONG TERM FOR KILLING LOVER Twenty years in the open- tiary was the sentence handed to James Goodman, 23, by Judge Sargent in Corporation Court yesterday for the murder of Miss Nucie Jones, 18, at the corner of Bank and Charlotte streets February 3. Goodman pleaded guilty to the murder indictment. Miss Jones was killed as the result of a love affair and was shot down without warning, as she stood at the corner conversing with Goodman. Persons approaching at the time said they heard the subdued scream of an unidentified man suddenly whipped out at revolver and fired on the defenseless woman. Goodman had been a frequent caller at Miss Jones' home and when arrested the Sunday following the shooting, admitted that he loved her and she wouldn't go with him. THE BANKERS' FIRE INSURANCE CO. TO EXTEND ITS FIELD THE BANKERS' FIRE INSURANCE CO. TO EXTEND ITS FIELD Now Operating in Five, Will Soon Enter Nine Additional States, Virginia Included. To Increase Capital Stock. COMPANY HAS MADE FINE RECORD IN THREE YEARS The South as a whole has made very satisfactory and substantial progress during the past few years. No section of the nation has caught the spirit of business revival with more enthusiasm than the South, and in this section has spring up one of the most virile and promising business organizations in the country in the form of the Bankers' Fire Insurance Company. The interesting story of its origin and growth has none of the mushroom features, but reflects sound planning and financing, capable management and constructive building upon a solid superstructure. STARTED BUSINESS IN 1920 The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company began operations in North Carolina in 1920. While carefully charting its course and building up a profitable business in that State it has been likewise making plans for expansion in other States. In other states it has been a lucrative business in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland and the District of Columbia. OPERATING IN FIVE STATES The company is now operating in five States, in each one of which it has won an enviable reputation by the honest business methods employed in dealing with all its patrons. The promptness with which it has adjusted each fire loss since its organization has been commended throughout the country, and especially in each locality where it is doing business. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company is justly proud of its record and is doing everything in its power to justify and perpetuate its growth and development. SOUGHT IN OTHER STATES As would naturally be expected the good name of the company has "gone abroad," and it is being sought in other States of the Union. Its quick and immediate responses made to alleviate suffering wherever its patrons have been affected have caused numerous letters to come from every State in the Union seeking the company's services. These requests have become so urgent until it has been decided prepare to mediate Virginia, Verona, New York, New York, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, WILL INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK These invitations to the company to enter other States have been accompanied with letters from persons desiring to own Bankers Fire Insurance Company stock. To meet these requests and provide for a wider distribution of this service, the company plans in the near future to increase its insurance and distribute the new issue largely in the new territory to be developed. As part of this plan is to enable home-owners to purchase fire insurance from a company owned and controlled by local interests. The new territory to be offered offers an unusual opportunity for Bankers Fire Insurance Company not only a large service to these communities, but offers also employment on a large number of persons. RESOURCES LARGE AND GROWING The company's resources of more than $300,000.00 are more than ample to project every present policy holder. The meeting of every claim promptly after the great New Bern, North Carolina confaguration, attests this fact. The facility with which the company met this exigency was a practical demonstration of its strength and is justly referred to by the officers and stockholders with STRONG PERSONNEL The company is the first of its kind organized, owned and operated entirely by Afro-Americans, and it num- Minister, Fleeing From Florida Tells of Whole Towns Burned And Hundreds Killed by Mobs KU KLUX KLAN TRY TO INTIMIDATE VOTERS BEWARE! Negro Citizens, as long as you keep your place, we will protect you, BUT and EVERY NEGRO who ap proaches a polling place next Tuesday will be A MARKED MAN This is a white-man's country, boys, so save your own life next Tuesday KLU-KLUX-KLAN, Miami Chapter P.S. Don't think for a minute that we don't know why. A white man with every polling place with his book. DON'T GET IN THAT BOOK! The above is a photographic reproduction of a handshake nearly distributed at Miami Fla, prior to a recent election, presumably by the Ku Klux Klan, or by other parties opposed to Negro citizens voting, who took advantage of the mystery and threat which the Klan afforded in an effort to intimidate race citizens. Reports from Florida state that the scheme did not work very successfully, as few citizens paid any heed to the threat. It goes to show, however, what methods are being used openly to keep qualified voters away from the polls in the Florida city. This is one of the methods by which the Southerners are driving away their best labor supply. SCHOOL SAVINGS PLAN POPULAR WITH PUPILS Colored Schools Maintain Highest Average, 80 Per Cent of Pupils Enrolled. The thrift plan is growing in popularity with the school children of Norfolk. After two weeks operation of the new system the pupils have $3,500 on deposit at the Scaboard National and Metropolitan Bank and Trust Company. An interesting phase of the thrift movement is that the colored schools of the city are maintaining the highest average of depositors, showing that more colored children in proportion to their numbers are saving than is true of the white children. The percentages are white, 68; colored, 80. Another interesting phase is that the children, white and colored, in the annexed territory are not as thrifty according to the figures, as those in the old territory. The figures for the colored schools up to the end of last week are as follows: Smallwood, enrollment 400, depositors 400, per centage 100; Armstrong, enrollment 787, depositors 758, per centage 99; Carey, enrollment 1,165, depositors 1,091, per centage 95; B. T. Washington, enrollment 586, depositors 546, per centage 93; West, enrollment 785, depositors 454, per centage 98; Smythe, enrollment 173, depositors 123, per centage 71; Price, enrollment 454, depositors 308, per centage 68; Titustown, enrollment 244, depositors 155, per centage 64; Campostella, enrollment 236, depositors 150, per centage 57, and Douglas Park, enrollment 195, depositors 53, per centage 27. Totals, enrollment (average March attendance), 6,144, depositors 4,921, per centage 80. Total for both women and experienced schools are 19,292, depositors 18,529, per centage 74; total amount deposited, $3,585.59. bears among its authors and directors of the most capable and experienced business men the race has produced. Its officers and directors have been selected from men of large holdings, who have been highly successful in their own personal and business affairs. Its office routine is carried on by men and women specially trained and equipped for such work. Its business is carried on exactly like the business of the oldest and largest insurance companies in America. The company's growth in usefulness, prestige, popularity and resources not only attests the ability and capacity of the management selected, but the confidence placed in it by the public. The Bankers' Fire Insurance Company is no longer an experiment, because it has successfully met the hazard and the test of the pioneer. It is a going and growing reality, with the thoughts and the eyes of the public being focused upon it more and more each day, and it is measuring up to the most exacting requirements of an efficient organization of its kind. The officers of the company are: W. Spalding, A. M. Moore, A. J. Strong, vice-presidents; J. M Avery, treasurer; W. Gomez, secretary-manager; M. A. Goins, assistant secretary. The home office is in Durham, N. C. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PER YEAR Aged Presiding Elder Tortured And Exiled—Well-to-do and Educated Classes Especial Object of Mob's Wrath—Good Citizenship, No Safeguard, Says Preacher In Letter. New York.—A letter to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, quotes the Rev. O. H. Edenburgh, a survivor of the recent burnings and mob outbreaks in Florida, as saying that a number of towns were burned and that the burning lasted for a day and a half, educated Negroes being the heaviest sufferers from the mob. Rev. Edenburgh is quoted in part as follows: "Stanley Town, a town of more than one thousand colored inhabitants, with only one white man, who lived with a colored wife, was totally destroyed with the exception of the post office and everybody except those who escaped were killed. Here, he said, the Negroes owned stores, banks, and everything just as any other town. "In these towns, he said, every preacher was whipped, being accused of influencing his people along those different lines, the white people thought wasn't best for colored people to aspire and know—instilling them with new ideas along educational lines and educational conditions and unity—saying that they were growing haughty and rebellious. Burton was rushed to a hospital in Atlanta, where he was, at the this Mr. Edinburgh (was). white people were running the colored people out of this place, and Elder Burton asked the governor for a state militia for a protection of the Negro. So they heard of it and came to his house and asked his wife for him, but he told him not returned home. They made several similar visits before he came, telling his wife their intention and assuring her they were not going to bother her nor anything she possessed, but only wanted Burton. So, when he came home the white people did as above described. "Elder Burton was said to be worth more than $55,000 and had been married to this young wife about a year, and had just bought her one of the most beautiful homes from some white man in the city, having cash for it; and a few weeks prior to this time, had presented his wife with a beautiful thousand dollar car, paying cash for it; but they did not bother anything but Elder Will Burton, who survived enough to be taken to Atlanta after a black snake whip was "In one town they whipped the presiding elder, Will Burton, by tying his hands and tying him to a tree that he had planted in his yard, which had grown up to be a large tree, three men whipping him with a black snake whip until the whip gave out. Elder Noted Surgeon Implores His Hearers to Eradicate Racial Lines From Mental Horizon. Before an audience that hung on every word that fell from his lips and exhibited genuine appreciation of his talk, Dr. George Cleveland Hall, eminent surgeon of Chicago, Ill., delivered an address at St. John's A. M. E. Church Tuesday night, that for a long time he had not taught, and for a collective brilliance was unexcelled by anything heard in this city for some time. Dr. Hall in his address ran counter to the majority of race platform speakers of today. The quality of his talk proved that he is as seasoned and balanced in his thoughts and utterances on momentous public questions as he is in weilding the surgeon's knife. The audience considered it really a rare treat to listen to a speaker who felt telo television a great calamity about to annihilate the race and in soaring flights of oratory utter his forbidding predictions into their ears. SEES MUCH GOOD Dr. Hall has refused to be stumped by the wave of radical thought engulfing many prominent men of this age. He sees, and told his audience so, in the world today much from which to draw inspiration and encouragement. He emphasized the ever importance of the Dollar Bill in comparison with the Dyer Bill and all other legislative bills, which have recently engaged the attention of the race. He strongly urged the eradication of the racial lines on the mental horizon and asked his audience to train itself to think in terms of humanity instead of racial. Declaring that he had no sympathy with advocates of higher education and denied that there was anything such as a higher education, Dr. Hall asserted that he stood for the education of all peoples, white, yellow and all others to their fullest capacities. He deplored any tendency to make all professional men take it out of all young men and making it impossible to afford to do only when the human race becomes able to live on ideals, but as long as material things are necessary for human sustenance education must take different angles, but all must be educated to their fullest capacities. FINE RACIAL RELATIONS The speaker urged his hearers to cease drawing their mental nourishment from the adversities which best race and turn the searchlight on the grand and noble things that are being done for human betterment. "The mammoth vocational-high school which the city is building for the education of the colored youth is evidence of a fine racial relation in Norfolk. They are building it because they think it is right, just as right thinking people do," said Dr. Hall. The eminent surgeon took the occasion to compliment local physicians on the free clinic maintained at the Community Center, and urged all business and professional people to find time to do some things for which the only pay is the feeling that humanity has been helped by his or her doing. The speaker appeared here under nspaces of Virginia Chapter of Lincol- n University Alumni Association. Burton was rushed to a hospital in Atlanta, where he was at the this Mr. Edinburgh (was). The white people were running the colored people out of this place, and Elder Burton asked the governor for a state militia for a protection of the Negro. So they heard of it and came to his house and asked his wife for him, but was told he had not returned home. They made several similar similarities before he came, telling wife the same story, suring her they were not going to bother her nor anything she possessed, but only wanted Burton. So, when he came home the white people did as above described. "Elder Burton was said to be worth more than $55,000 and had been married to this young wife about a year, and had just bought her one of the most beautiful homes from some white man in the city—paying cash for it; and a few weeks prior to this time had presented his wife with a beautiful thousand dollar car, paying cash for it; but they did not bother anything but Elder Will Burton, who survived enough to be taken to Atlanta after all, while the whip was used up on his back. "When the white people were busy trying to run the Negro away, some tried to make preparation and leave, but was prohibited during the mob and confraglation by day and Night Riders by night." Prof. Hiram Simmons Putting The Ten Commandments to Anthem Form in Six Ways. In the judgement of reputable music critics, Prof. Hiram Simmons, of Portsmouth, celebrated composer of church music, has just about accomplished the most wonderful and novel feat recorded in musical circles. Prof. Simmons will soon announce the completion of composing the Ten Commandments in Anthem form six different ways to be sung by forty-eight trained voices in six groups of eight singers. There is said to be not on record any attempt by any composer to accomplish such a feat before. This matchless composition is to be sung first by a group of eight voices singing a particular anthem and followed by five more groups of eight, each group singing its own particular anthem. After each group of eight singers shall have sung the composition in their own particular anthem the six groups are to appear on the stage and be accompanied by each group defining itself to singing its own anthem, but all six anthems harmonizing in a single song. Prof. Simmons has been laboring on this wonderful composition for several months and has now so perfected it as to elicit the awe and admiration of music critics in New York and Boston. this composer jumped into fame through his composition, "The Story of Our Lord's Supper," in Oratorin, which was sung by the celebrated tenor or Roland W. Hayes, of Boston, in his appearance here at Ecumenical M. E. Church, November 1019. The poet was considered Prof. Simmons's masterpiece, but this latest composition, "The Ten Commandments In Anthem," six different ways, will surpass his "Lord's Supper," it is confidently predicted. Mr. Simmons announces that the first recital of this composition will be at Queen Street Baptist Church, May 22nd.

C.—The long drawn out litigation of the Virginia Chapter Knights of Pythias and the Supreme Grand Lodge came to a close last week when the Equity Court here in a sweeping decision decided that the Supreme Order had a right to take action that it did and the charter of the Virginia Chapter was rightfully revoked and accordingly dissolved the long standing injunction which prevented the execution of the Grand Lodge's action and dismissed the bill. The History of the litigation dates back as far as 1913. In 1913, at the Baltimore session of the Supreme Order of the Knights of Pythias, John Mitchell, Jr., as Grand Chancellor and the Grand Jurisdiction of Virginia, were suspended for nonpayment of the assessed tax to defend the Supreme Order against the injunction entered into the while Supreme Order in the State of Georgia. Mitchell and the Virginal jurisdiction enjoined the Supreme Order from carving out its order of suspension, in the District Supreme Court here in Washington, the Supreme Order being incorporated here. White Pythians Lose Case The history of the litigation is as follows: In 1909 the Supreme Order of the Knights of Pythias of the United States (whole) obtained an injunction in the State of Georgia against the colored Knights of the United States, enjoining them from using the name of knights of Pythias, and also the regalia, insignia, etc. That deeds affirmed by the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia. As soon as that decree was obtained suits were instituted in a large number of states by the white order against the colored, to enjoin them from operating as above stated. The case was brought to the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of error and the Supreme Court of the United States, in 1910, speaking through Chief Justice White, reversed the Supreme Court of the State of Georgia, and the other suits were dismissed. Tax Proclaimed During the pendency of this litigation, the Supreme Order of the Knights of Pythias (colored) met in biennial session at Kansas City and an emergency tax was created for the purpose of defending the order against the hostile, litigation of the white order. The resolution creating the emergency tax was unanimously passed; John Mitchell, Jr., the Grand Chancellor of Virginia, offering the resolution. The emergency tax was apportioned among the grand jurisdictions of the United States. In 1911 the order met in biennial session in Indianapolis, Indiana. A number of the grand jurisdictions had not paid their apportioned emergency tax and were not permitted to take part until the taxes were paid or some arrangements therefore made. Virginia, being represented by John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor, paid $690.000, which his grand jurisdiction raised, a number of his likewise, a number of agreements to pay the remainder thereof in four installations, not later than July 1, 1912. As a result, the Virginia jurisdiction, along with others was permitted to participate in the proceedings of the biennial session. All the others paid in consonance with their agreements. Mitchell Denounces Action Subsequently thereto to witt; in September of the same year, the Grand Jurisdiction of Virginia met in Lyrchburg, John Mitchell, Jr., the Grand Chancellor presiding, denounced the action of the Supreme Order at Indianapolis, saying that the leaving of the tax was a revolutionary and unconstitutional and therefore they declined to pay it. The Supreme Chancellor, S. W. Green, suspended the Grand Jurisdiction of Virginia for its action in the matter. In 1913, the biennial session was held in Baltimore, Md. The Virginia Jurisdiction appealed from the suspension of the Supreme Chancellor to the Committee on Appeals and Grievances. The Committee upheld the suspension by the Supreme Chancellor and recommended that the charter of Virginia be revoked, which was accordingly done by the Supreme Order. Thereafter, Virginia, through its Grand Chancellor, John Mitchell, Jr., instituted suit in the District of Columbia, where the Supreme Order is incorporated, to enjoin the Supreme Order from putting into effect the resolution passed at Baltimore, declaring the charter of the Grand Jurisdiction revoked and the Lodge suspended; also stating that the Supreme Order had been guilty of improperly using the money of the order and called for an accounting thereof. The part of the bill for the accounting was dismissed, the court holding that the monies had been properly used; but further held that the tax was unconstitutional, and the suspension and revocation were both illegal. An Appeal Taken A appel was taken from this degree to the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals, reversed the Supreme Court in holding the suspension was illegal, but affirmed its decision in holding the charter to be tate guests, including members of the "Special Hampton Party," which will come to the Lower Peninsula of Virginia under the leadership of Alexander B. Trowbridge, of New York, president of the National Hampton Association. George Foster Peabody, of New York, who is the senior member of the Hampton Institute board of trustees, will attend this dedication, accompanied by a number of personal guests. The first organ recital will be given on Thursday night, April 26. The program will include singing by the Hampton Institute student. The Rev. Dr. Henry P. Jones, pastor of St. James A. M. E. Church, Pittsburgh, will speak on the afternoon of April 27. not revoked, for the reason the sufficient notice had not been given Virginia under the constitution of the order. Subsequently thereto, the Supreme Court passed an order holding the suspension proper, but holding that the constitutionality of the tax had not been determined by the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals reversed the Supreme Court of again, stating that it intended to put an end to the litigation and that the Supreme Order had the right to carry on its business in consonance with its constitution and by-laws, provided due process of law was had as to the other parties. Thereafter, in 1921, Virginia was cited to appear at Topeka, Kansas, and show cause why its charter should not be revoked for non-compliance with the legal mandates of the order. Virginia appeared, and before proceedings were had withdrew. The Supreme Order heard the case and revoked Virginia's charter. Virginia returned to the District of Columbia and filed suit against the Supreme Order and obtained a temporary injunction against the Supreme Order restraining it from treating the jurisdiction of Virginia, as having had its charter revoked. Virginians Lose Their Case The case began last week to be heard on its merits; and the Equity Court decided, in a sweeping decision on Tuesday last that the Supreme Order had a right to take the action it did and the charter of Virginia was rightfully revoked and accordingly dissolved the injunction and dismissed the bill. James A. Cobb and Henry Davis appeared for and represented the Supreme Order throughout this litigation.

SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 Thought for the Week And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.—I King, iv, 34. These are the signs of a wise man to reprove nobody, to praise nobody, to blame nobody, nor even to speak of himself or his own merits.—Epicetus. Teach the children how to save the pennies and the grown-ups will know how to save the dollars. The farmers of Mississippi, Arkansas, and adjacent States, are beginning to feel the steady drain upon their farm labor by migration, but they do not show any precipitation in removing the causes for this loss of labor. Prof Reisner, of Harvard College, says the Ethiopians are not black folks, meaning African Negroes, and that may be true, as all of the Africans are not black, many being olive colored or reddish and some nearly white. It depends. Nearly, every tribe in Africa differs from the other in physical, facial and cranial characteristics, the same as do Asiatics and Europeans. Ethiopians belong in the Continent of Africa and are, therefore, Africans. "Negro," in Africa is regarded as the lowest type of African, there being only one Negro tribe in Africa, and that is the reason that European and American ethnologists style all Afro-Americans as Negroes. What they have sought to degrade in the name and the person it is for us to strive to ennoble. "Moral Fortress of the Race" The sixth anniversary of Founder's Day was celebrated at Tuskegee Institute, April 5, and Dr. Moton, the principal, characterized it as "one of the most appropriate commemorative exercises of the birth of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the founder, who died in 1915. There was a notable gathering of distinguished friends of the dead founder and of the Institute, with a display of the wonderful things being done, and some splendid sentiments were voiced by men of light and leading. The address of the occasion was delivered by Dr. Samuel C. Mitchell, of the University of Richmond, who hit the nail on the head when he said: "Tuskegee Institute is the moral fortress of the Negro race. It is a lighthouse towards which the eyes of millions turn. It embodies a statesmanlike idea that offers the nearest approach yet made to a solution of the Negro problem." Again, Dr. Mitchell said: "I do not recall a single task to which Dr. Washington applied his hand that has not lived and increased in power throughout the decades. This is due to the fact that he saw cleanly the issues and grounded his plans on common sense, faith and good will between the races." It is good that a doctor of laws should go out of Richmond, the capitol of the Southern Confederacy, to bear witness to the good works and lasting influence for good of him, the Virginia slave born, who "gave his life freely that others might have it more abundantly." We shall be strong as a race as we produce men of the character of Booker T. Washington, "whose good works do follow him." New Savings Plan in Schools We are sure the patrons of the JOURNAL AND GUIDE read with interest the news article in a recent issue describing the new plans now in operation in the schools of Norfolk to encourage children to save their pennies and acquire habits of thrift; we are equally sure that the parents of our school children will co-operate heartily with the school and bank authorities in the effort to make the plans most successful. We are free to say spenddriftiness is one of the greatest weaknesses the Afro-American people have, not only among the children but among the grown-ups. They know how to make money, mostly at hard labor and the lowest wage rates, but they do not know how to spend and save to the best advantage; but they are learning. If they had been saving as much in the years before 1900 as in the years since we should have many million dollars more in the banks and in homes and other property than we now have. The best way to teach old folks anything they ought to know is to begin with them when they are children; the thrift plans, therefore, operating in the public schools become of the very first importance, and parents and teachers alike should co-operate earnestly with the school authorities in developing the savings habit among the children. "As the twig is bent the tree inclines"; so, as the child is taught the grown-up believes. By all means encourage the children to learn how to save the pennies and the grown-ups will know how to save the dollars. No Race Line at Harvard The Board of Overseers of Harvard University, by a unanimous vote have adopted the report of their committee, that "in the administration of rules for admission Harvard College maintains its traditional policy of freedom from discrimination on grounds of race or color," and that, as far as the Freshmen dormitories are concerned, "men of the white and colored races shall not be compelled to live and eat together, nor shall any man be excluded by reason of his color," and finally, that "no departure be made from the policy that has so long approved itself—the policy of equal opportunity for all, regardless of race and religion," as "any action liable to interpretation as an acceptance of the principle of racial discrimination would to many seem like a dangerous surrender of traditional ideals." This sweeping and positive action of the Board of Overseers of Harvard, the most famous of American universities, is a triumph for the Negro and Jewish races, which cannot be overestimated. It will be remembered that President A. Lawrence Lowell raised a storm about his ears in denying to Roscoe. Conkling Bruce admission to the Freshmen dormitories of his son, and the repudiation of his action, and the untenable position he took in the correspondence between him and Mr. Bruce, amounts to a strong rebuke, if not a repudiation, of President Lowell, and it would not be surprising if he should hand in his resignation as president. The Nation said, in discussing the matter, that Mr. Bruce showed himself better fitted, by the correspondence, to be President of Harvard than Dr. Lowell. There will be no backward step in policy by "Harvard, fair Harvard," and the race is immensely the gainer because of it. Civilization Threatened The conviction of two of the highest Catholic authorities in Russia and the execution of one of them and a long imprisonment for the other by the Soviet Government of Russia, and the underlying sentiment that it is the aim of the Soviets to destroy Christianity, with the reforms that the new Turks have brought into their government, mainly the doing away with the harem and prohibition of the sale and consumption of liquors, and the general disorder in the governments of Europe, with Germany as the storm center,—all give point to the pessimistic view of the stability of Christian civilization which the wise men in the pulpit and out of it are voicing in all Christian lands. Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. The death of Lord Carnarrvon following fast upon the opening by him and Howard Carter of the tomb of King Tut-ankh-Amen, in Egypt, has aroused the fears of the Christian whites everywhere that the insect bite from which he died was a visitation for the desecration of the resting place of the dead, although the whites disclaim that they believe in any such vulgarism as plebian superstition, bears out the conclusion that Christian faith is being replaced by Christian fear and a consequent weakening of Christian civilization. Mr. Charles R. Crane, former Ambassador to China and intimately connected with Near Eastern relief work since the World War, fresh from Egypt, says that Great Britain is staggering under the weight of what Rudyard Kipling styled "The White Man's Burden," that that it is likely to collapse if the United States does not limber up and help carry the burden, and with the collapse of British power will go with it the collapse of Christian civilization, and there is much truth in his conclusions, but the wise men of the United States do not appear to see it as he and others do and are disposed to let Great Britain and distraught Europe wallow in their bloody mess. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who has gone daft after spiritism, is back in the country again, on a lecture trip, and has said among other things: "If Christ were to return to earth today he would repudiate many of the institutions and practices imposed upon his teachings. I believe Orthodox Christianity ended in the World War. It has been on trial for more than 1,000 years. It failed to prevent the death of 10,000,000 of our mankind." Very true, Sir Arthur, but that was not the test. The test came on the Japanese contention for the acceptance of the equality of races in international relations at the Versailles Conference, and the Christian powers repudiated it and in doing so "the brotherhood of Christ and fatherhood of God." There is where Christian civilization failed. Briefs and Spices (BY S. J. C.) The way of the transgressor is crowded with dissappointment. Fashion experts predict that the bustle is coming back. Heretofore style nomenclature has been successful in putting over obsolete styles, whether this prediction comes true remains to be seen. It is reported that the Treasury Department may discontinue the printing of two-dollar bills. This is the first information we've had that substantiates the reputed unpopularity of these bills. Another evidence of the wastefulness of the times is a complete set of cocktail glasses in included in the equipment of the Leviathan. A Washington woman obtained a divorce because her mate maintained silence fifteen years. Hell hath no fury like continuous silence, eh? A headline says: "Jack Dempsey may quit ring to become coal-mining baron." Judging from the price of coal last winter, there's far greater profits in that, as a business than fighting. Letters From The People Letters From The People School Question Editor Journal and Guide, Sir: It is apparent that Virginini's low educational status is due to a lack of uniformity in educational ideals through the state. There has been a marked tendency in late years to raise the standards of education in many sections, of the commonwealth. But in other sections there is manifest a disposition to ignore this onward movement which is doing so much to lift Virginia out of the mire of illiteracy. This spirit is shown in the not providing of proper school facilities necessary to the work of raising the standard of education in the various sections concerned In the big cities like Norfolk, Richmond and others, the work of improving their school systems by a definite program of constructive plans seems to be keeping pace with similar work in the great cities of other states. We may pause here to say that with the erection in the near future of the proposed half million dollar high school for colored, Norfolk will lead the state in education. The causes, then, which account for Virginia standing forth among the states of the Union in education may be pointed out as due, first: To inadequate school facilities for colored children! second: not enough school facilities in the mountain districts for white children and colored children. A third cause that may be given is, that in some of the schools at all provided for colored children. We believe that Virginia owes to her prestige, that this condition should not longer continue, and to see in the near future that it is changed. —W. J. SCOTT. Norfolk, Va. SCISSORED Bothering My Brain To save me I can't be reconciled to a religion that draws a color line here in this poor little world where we are permitted to live only a few years, and then exerts itself to people an everlasting heaven with Mexicans, Japs, Africans and all the other undesirables. Over at the First Methodist Church last Sunday a fat red-faced, perspiring brother told the congregation about thousands of souls their church had saved in those outlandish countries in the eighteenth months, and called on the congregation to pay up all Centenary Pledges so more churches could be built in darkest Africa to bring the black brethren into the kingdom. Everybody looked 'pleased in contemplation of the salvation of the poor benighted black men, yellow men and red men. The Centenary pledges will be paid so that the good work may go merrily on. But I could not help wondering what the effect upon the congregation would have been if a lot of those flatnosed, kinky-headed, high-smelling African blacks had marched into that very temple of the Lord's anointed and asked for seats to sit thru the morning service? I confided my fears and doubts to a good sister and she came back at me with the text: "In the Lord's name I am the temple of the blacks." She is sure there will be a nice house on Main St. for her in heaven, and a white-washed cabin somewhere on the outskirts of paradise for the blacks and other undesirables. If that's the way they're going to fix it, I've got no more to say—Elizabeth City (N. C.) Independent. Congratulations Harvard! Our heartiest congratulations to Harvard University! It has come back into its own and redeemed its good name, for its overseers by a unanimous vote have overruled President Lowell and reasserted its historic position, declaring that there shall be no racial discrimination in the oldest and greatest of our universities. That makes the heavens of American democracy seem a great deal brighter! That Negro students are to have their place again in the freshman dormitories is particularly grateful to us because the campaign against this attack on a noble Harvard tradition began in the office of THE NATION. To Roscoe Conkling Bruce, the colored guard graduate, who dared criticism, not motorily by publicly demanding that freshmen are entitled to, and to the World, which first printed his letters, we extend our special congratulations. Mr. Bruce has served his country and his university well. The news that there is to be no anti-Semitism at Cambridge will go around the world and will re-establish the prestige of the university wherever right-minded men and women dwell. Finally, we cannot commend too highly the spirit and fairness of the report of the Committee on Selective Admission, appointed to deal with the whole subject. It has not only fearlessly turned down the proposals of President Lowell, but has made a constructive contribution to the whole subject of the limitation of university attendance.—The Nation. POETS' CORNER MUSIC What doth soothe the savage breast, Doth lull the weary to their rest, Hath scored when all things failed them. It hath a charm that's all its own, No other virtue can it dethrone, Can you resist the plaintive moan Of Music? Nations have tried thro' ages past, Bards and sonnets to surpass; But one thing that will always last, Is Music. Music was by God endowed, It heralded the coming of our Lord, None can ne'er fail to regard, Sweet Music. Lord, let our lives be music sweet, To soothe and charm those that we meet. And when our lives are here complete, We will chant Music at Thy feet. —AGNES IRENE THARPE. "Glee Club of Hampton Institute Is Wonderful," Verdict of Critic of Standing A Country Where White Men Are Not Permitted To Own Any Land NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE After hearing the Hampton Institute Glee Club and R. Nathaniel Dett in concert Friday night, April 13, Mr. Douglass Gordon, editor of the Norfolk Ledger-Dispatch, a dramatic, art and literary critic of recognized standing, wrote the following review of the club and its director: Most people who have been listening to music for years have heard a fine of chorus singing, some of it fine chorus singing, but few have heard best possible chorus - singing of a specific type unless they have heard the Hampton Institute Glee Club. Mention of a specific type is made because it is intended to exclude, of course, such choral organizations as that of the Metropolitan Opera, composed of mature, trained and long-experienced singers, and some of the country's great church choirs, and some—in the old days, anyhow—of the various, or assembled, Gesangvereins. But, remembering always that the Hampton Institute Glee Club is composed of less than thirty young men with untrained voices, that it includes no spectacular voices; that singing it is assumed, is with them only an incident of their study and training at the Institute, then it is repeated, that as these young men sang in the music department of the brilliant direction of Dr. R. Nathaniel Dett, head of the music department of the Institute, they gave example after example, illustration after illustration, of the best possible chorus singing. It might be expected that they would sing Negro spirituals, or arrangements of Negro folk songs, with peculiar and especial effectiveness—and they did. But they sang modern English songs and classics from the German and Italian, though in English, with precisely the same degree of effectiveness. In other words, they sang in English, with the pupils of the Hampton Institute had, and has, nothing on earth to do with their remarkable work. They sang with the same degree of positive excellence that would have been expected of a Russian John H. Harris, student of British colonial affairs, writing on "Britain's Negro Problem," in the *Atlantic Monthly* for April, declares that Britain's problem is not on the west coast of Africa, but in South Africa. "British West Africa is contented," he says, "first, because the natives own the land; secondly, because there is very little race prejudice; and finally, because considerable effort has been made to meet the demands of the over-reaching ranks of educated Negroes." British South Africa, says Mr. Harris, is in violent contrast. "The color bar" is the major problem of South Africa, and it exites bitterness in three main directions, either of which must, sooner or later, bring South African statesmen to the very position which confronted Abraham Lincoln, when he made his famous speech in June, 1856. South Africa's permanent position while she pursues a rival, economic, and political policy, half-slave and half-free. The cause of the recent rebellion in South Africa was the "color bar" according to Mr. Harris, and the struggle he thinks will go on until South "Feast of Passover" (Continued from page 1) The day must be spent in worship, prayer and song. The sect does not recognize the New Testament and does not believe that any new Messiah is yet to come. They regard Jesus as the Lord of the Old Testament and Bishop Plummer is the "Grandfather Abraham" for all time and over "all people." CREED OF SECT The Church of God and Saints of Christ is founded on the following ritual of faith: "We, the Church of God and Saints of Christ, of the United States and its jurisdiction, do declare every person members of the Church of God, after having repented of their sins and being baptized by burial into the water upon confession of faith in Christ Jesus, and received the unleavened bread and water for Christ's body and blood, their feet washed by the elder, as written in St. John 13:1-21, having agreed to keep the Ten Commandments and having been breathed with a holy kiss, also being taught the purity, as it is written in Matthew 6:9-13, we do try to perpetuate a union among Saints of Christ and maintain correspondence with all other churches of God throughout the United States and the whole world. We, therefore, purpose to maintain and keep the Commandments of God and the sayings of Jesus, according to the doctrine of the Bible." (To Be Continued Next Week) REID—HANKINS The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Holland was the scene of one of the most fashionable weddings of the spring, when Miss Callie Hankins, of Norfolk, became the bride of Mr. James Reid, of Berkley. The bridesmaid, Mrs. Viola Watford, sister of the bride, was attired in a dark blue poplin suit, wearing a beautiful bouquet of carnations with a steel gray tafat hat, entered followed by the bride becoming attired in a travelling suit of dark blue with slippers to correspond. They were met at the altar by the best man and groom who entered from the hall. Rev. C. P. Madness performed the marriage ceremony, after marriage Mr. and Mrs. Reid left to make their future home in Baltimore, Md. Prof. R. M. Lee, of Edenton, N. C., was in the city Tuesday of this week on business. Prof. Lee stated to the Journal and Guide that the crops in his section had been badly damaged by the recent cold spells. Especially and the crop of May peas been injured, he said. or German male chorus—and would rarely have been realized. There wasn't a flaw in their chorus singing; not one. There were plenty of them, and there was an unhappy "sing" in the first bass at times, but if there was a single fault in the work of the chorus as a whole or in the work of any individual as part of the whole this column conductor failed to detect: Speaking of the voices, for a moment, the profundity and power of those second basses were enough to make sick the heart of any church harpite. The Institute has had a chorus for years, and for years it has been commended, but this column is forced to believe that none of its choruses has ever sung as this one sings. This, for the reason that it has been taught and is directed by Dr. Dett, an authority on Negro music, a schooled musician in general, a composer of high attainments, and distinguished for them, and a fine pianist. It is he who has made these young men sing as one: they attack without one voice's hesitation; they release so that even the sibilants cease together on the instant; they swell and diminish with the perfect graduation of such a man as Bishpham was and as Werrennrath is; they can all sing together in a whisper, and they pronounce the words so that they are easily intelligible. During the concert last night several solo numbers and several readings, which were really recitations, were done by men who achieved merit. But the features, apart from the extraordinary chorus work, were the numbers of Dr. Dett. His compositions—aside from his arrangements—are scholarly always, and, according to the mood, are either beautiful, as his Barcarolle from the suite "In the Bottoms" and "Mammy" from his "Magnolia suite," in irresistibly infectious music, as Juba. As an executive, he is—well, it's a joy to any to hear him play as well as a thing of amazement. Touch, power, rhythm, understanding, technique—all are his. DOUGLASS GORDON. Africa has become wholly slave or wholly free. Self government by natives has met with much success in Basutoland, he continues. "The major Negro problem, after all, is that of franchise and self-government. Great Britain prides herself, and not without reason, over the Basutoland experiment. Basutoland is a tiny little state—the Switzerland of South Africa—measuring 1,000 square miles and occupying 400,000 square miles of virile and advanced natives south of the Equator. . . . The Basutos owe their unique position to their great ruler, the late King Mohesh, easily the greatest statesman that South Africa has produced. Basutoland was annexed by Britain at the request of Mohesh, and stands alone in the fact that it was later disunexed, and is now governed by a native Parliament, or Pitso, guided, by English advisors. The Basutoland levies its own taxes and, in fact, performs all of the functions of a modern administration. White men are permitted to visit Basutoland, and, in some cases, to reside within the territory; but none may own land." Glee Club Recital A Grand Treat Those who were at the Armory Hall Friday night enjoyed a music treat the like of which is had on the rarest occasions. Mr. R. Nathaniel Dett and the Hampton Institute Glee Club came to this city with a heralded reputation that can be truthfully said that their performance at the Armory added to their laurels. They undered a liberal program of classical music, folk lore and their derivatives, pianos, solos, readings,etc. The audience enjoyed it all as emotions changed from amazement, admiration and wonderment at the excellency of the concert. A representative audience braved the storm to attend and what was lacking in numbers was over made up in enthusiasm. The storm, however, did damn the arder of the performers. They may be if though they might have been singing to multitudes and every note was a delight to the hearers. Too much credit cannot be given the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity for bringing to Norfolk, Mr. Dett and his students. It was a big effort and one that makes the public ever grateful for such examples of idealism. They secured the best that could be and presented it to Norfolk and viciously. The fraternity also wishes to express its sincere appreciation of the public support given their efforts. Mr. Robert Williams, business man of Suffolk, Va., was in the city this week and was a welcomed caller at the Journal and Guide office. A responsibilities naturally gravitate to the person who can shoulder them, said a friend of mine, who had endorsed a note for a friend of his, and had to pay Hello friends, All men have tasted defeat. The successful ones are those who refused to swallow it, chirps W. W. Foreman. Blessed be those who are not rich enough to be unhappily married. The report that Ford and Hearst may start a new party suggests that what's needed is not new parties but getting the old ones to live up to their promises.

It is all right for a man to be cool in case of danger, provided all the coolness is not in his feet, remarks Lawyer Peters. A white man in Portsmouth got his leg shot off trying to make peace between a colored man and wife. Same old story. When a man tries to make peace between a man and his fight- ing storm and strife he usually has to fight both of them. A correspondent who gives his resid- ence as the City Jail writes us as follows: Dear Mr. Witt; Dear Mr. Witt: Please environ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and ask him what did George Claudie say when he met Jim Perry going through that narrow lane to answer to the questions that the angels ask about his doings after dark? I guess Jim called the Norfolk Police department. Oh, progress, how much grafting is done in thy name. SORE ON THE WEATHER Dear Mr. Witt: I wish to give vent to my feelings regarding this weather in the following poem, entitled: GETTING WORSE ALL THE TIME I'm tired of snow; I'm tired of sleet, I'm tired of both together. I'm tired of storms, I want some heat, I'm sick of wintry weather. I try to be a cheerful guy, I try to chirp and prattle, And hand some glee as I pass by To every living mortal. To find some joy in everything, Is always my endeavor. But how can one rear up and sing When winter lasts forever? How can a man live up to date, With ever striving numbers, When he has to feed the grate Or freeze while he slumbers? Each day I think the cold will break And old winter be exhausted; But every morn when I awake, I find my whiskers frosted. Each day I see some hopeful sign, That spring at last is coming, But in the night at half-past nine I hear a blizzard humming. I'm tired of chilblains in my toes, I'm tired of infuenza; I'm tired of every wind that blows, Right through my old McInnie. I'm tired of ice in sheets and peaks, Of ash piles large and dirty; I'm tired of every blast that blows, From far away Alberty. I'm tired of grates and easy chairs, When I could be out coo-cooling; This climate is built for polar bears, No need of me boo-hoo-ing. —DAVID H. SHIPP. Friend Shipp will write some hot poetry if the weather ever gets warm enough for the sap to rise. “You're stuffing me,” protested the mattress to the factory hand. If some motorists wouldn't try to see how many miles they can make on a quart of corn, there wouldn't be so many accidents, observes J. M. Harrison. BROKE!

Norfolk is a port city with many of the good and bad influences exist in such cities. The Y. W. C. A. is an indispensable institution队 All races of people are judged by the standard of their womanhood. The ideal must be constantly kept better Norfolk's young women and girls Will every man and woman in the city arouse him or herself to this civic pride "Y" "Brave and courageous women are giving their time and talents to the work.

C.—The Greensboro colored hospital drive was launched in a rousing mass meeting in the Grand Theatre Sunday afternoon amidst a wave of enthusiasm when Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., in one of the most brilliant and eloquent addresses heard in this section, entranced the big audience with his flow of oratory. Young Morris spoke upon his famous subject, "The Hour Has Come," in which he reaffirmed his assertions that the colored man's destiny is in America and in the South. He struck out at the bugaboo of social equality when he said that social equality does not exist except in the minds of cheap northern and southern politicians. "Black America and white America do not know each other. Many of the white race are too prone to think of the Negroes in police courts as examples of Negro culture. And, again, the Negro's hope is in Dixie where there is plenty of opportunity." Pledge cards were passed out and the campaign for the hospital will be pushed vigorously by both white and colored citizens. President James B. Dudley announced that a gift of $1,000 from Odell's had been received. Dr. Charles C. Stewart briefly cited the history of attempts for a Negro hospital in the city, from the four-bed house on McCulloch street to the organization's 1919, of present Tritty hospital with 12 beds. Since then 360 patients have been treated there, 293 surgical, 40 medical and 27 obstical. The hospital is always full, he says, and many persons have been turned away. "There was need before the city extended its limits," he said, "and WELL KNOWN CITIZEN DIES Elizabeth City, N. C.-Mr. W. K.

Dr. Parran Bjoee made a short talk, emphasizing the need for a colored hospital. "Negro hospital facilities have not kept pace with the growth of the city in other respects," he said. He paid tribute to Trinity hospital's work and especially to the Negro doctors and dentists, because of whom, he said, there need never be fear that the new institution will not be well managed. "I have watched your physicians and surgeons," he said, and nowhere do I know more conscientious men. I urge you to put your shoulders to the wheel and continue the work you are now starting."

H. Von Stillek, the Bulgarian Herb Tea man, "they surely are a marvelous race and are today amg the sturdiest people in the world." Strong enduring blood has caried them on down through the centuries. Pure blood is almost a religion with every colored person. This, I have come to know from my experience of over twenty years in the manufacture of Bulgarian Herb Tea for sick people. Impure, polluted and diseased blood afflicts millionsof people; thousands suffer from hock worm, malaria, rheumatism, stomach, bowel and blood troubles. You know you are going to be sick and miserable when your system is allowed to fill up with poisonous wastes. Pimples, boils and unsightly blotches are a sure sign that your blood is bad. Something is needed to improve the blood and cast out of the system the poisons that mainly cause disease.

Dear Sir: With reference to the Arnold Scholarship for which you competed August 5th of this year, we take great pleasure in informing you that you are the winner. Under its teps you are entitled to free tuition at this University for three years and the sum of $300 annually. The Autumn Session begins October 4th. May we hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience. A shout of joy went up from the little audience. The old man placed his hand on John's head and made an oration praising him as a great hero. Tears of joy came into his eyes. This grandson of his he felt was going to be all that he had longed to be but had never had the chance. Mrs. Walton was happy. But suddenly a grave look swept over her face. How would certain of her white neighbors take the story of her boy's success? With a mother's ever watchful eye for possible harm to her offspring, she instinctively sensed trouble ahead. There were the two Parkers, for instance, bullies of the town, who were always teasing her son about his studious habits. Vively there flashed through her mind the terrible fate that had overtaken her husband in a neighboring county many years ago because of his industrious habits. Silence about her boy's success she hurriedly decided was the best course. "sh-h. Don't-don't tell anybody," she said cautiously. "They might—" She suddenly remembered the hostman. "Run, Bert, run. No, John, you go and tell Bill not to say nothing about it." John dashed through the gate and hurried up the dusty lane as fast as his legs could take him. On rounding the corner he saw the postman talking excitedly with Dick Stewart, an elderly white farmer and father of the neer-do-wells, the objects of Mrs. Walton's fear. He was telling Parker about the scholarship. "Good afternoon, Mr. Parker," said John, approaching. "Howly, John. I guess yo' all will be goin' No'th to be a professah, a doctah or somethin," sneered Stewart by way of congratulation. "Say Bill," said John when Parker had gone inside to give the news. "I forgot to ask you not to tell anyone. You know how it is." "And I spilled the beans!" said the other regretfully. "I won't tell another soul." John started thoughtfully back. Suddenly he heard something whiz by his ear and strike the earth with a dull thud, raising a little cloud of dust at his feet. It was a large stone! Ducking his head he looked hurriedly back but saw no one. "Jim Stewart, I bet," he said indignantly. The postman's promise to keep silent was of no avail. The mischief had already been done.

Here's your letter," the postman, jovially, as he led his horse, dismounted from dragon, and advanced toward the covered fence surrounding the littermail in the small town of Salem, virgin. John Walton was intently hoeing corn and had not heard the rumble of the approaching wheels. At the time, "Your letter," he started, his breathing violently.

CHAPTER II. John Breckenridge Walton was the only living son of Lucy Walton. It was wellknown at least no one ever denied it—that he was the son of Phillip Breckenridge, senior wealthiest man in the county, local banker and justice of the peace. Two years ago the banker had called John to his office and offered to help him, but when the latter declared that his greatest desire was to enter college and become a doctor, the irate old man had driven him away. "Come and see me when you make up your mind to quit fooling with books," he had said. Twenty-four years before Lucy Walton's husband had met a terrible fate, as was said Walton had been a thriving prosperous farmer—a "big buggy nigger," as most of the white folks called him. The incident that lead to Walton's death was trivial. One day on entering a local store in the county in which he lived, he hitched his horse to the common hitching post as usual. Hearing a commotion he ran out to learn that his horse and that of a rival white farmer had been fighting. The white farmer placed the blame on Walton and began to abuse him. The latter apologized and started to walk to his horse. "Is that the way you talk to a white man," said the farmer angrily. "Damn it, take off your hat." Walton took no notice of him. The angry man rushed after him, and wheeled him around. In the scuffle that ensued the white man had gotten the worst of it and Walton was marched off to prison. That night the mob broke into the jail, took him out and burned him alive, but not before Walton had beaten out the brains of two of the mob with a bar wrenched from the window of the jail: Lucy Walton was given twenty-four hours to get out of the county and had returned to live with her father, Peter Breckinridge, a former slave on the Breckinridge estate. John Walton thirsted for knowledge. He had absorbed all the meagre education given to the Negro children in Salem by a teacher who was herself not a few grades from the illiterate. One day he saw an advertisement of a correspondence school in a magazine offering to prepare anyone who knew how to read for a college course. He had saved the five dollars a month necessary by working overtime and for the next three years devoted himself diligently to the lessons that had been sent. At last he had been given a diploma. Enclosed was a list of scholarships for which he could compete. Selecting the Arnold Scholarship he spent another year of patient preparation, and then had gone to Atlanta, fifty-two miles away, to take the examination. next four days. He thought it best to say nothing to his employer. The annual fund from the scholarship he decided would go to the support of his mother and grandfather. As for himself he would trust to luck to work out of school hours. Not a word had been said to outsiders about the departure. When asked about it, John would reply: "Oh, not for some time yet." The day came. The nearest station was Easton, eleven miles away. A train left at live in the morning. To allay his mother's fear he decided to take that. He would leave Salem around midnight. In some mysterious way the news of the approaching departure leaked out, and a few intimate friends stole in to say good-bye. As all sat around enjoying a farewell supper there came a violent, abrupt knock on the door as if a stone had been thrown against it. At the same time there was a strange call. The little company jumped to its feet. John grabbed his shotgun and waited. "It is those Parker boys, I bet," said Mrs. Walton. After waiting in taut expectation for ten minutes all sat down again. A knuckle at the door. John, shotgun in hand, went towards it and opened it as he heard a familiar voice. "Look what I found sticking in your door," said the newcomer, handing him a bit of paper. Going to the light John cast his eyes over it. A determined look came into his face. "They aren't going to scare me," he said. "What's it? What's it?" cried the company in alarm. "John Walton, we hear that yore leaving town to go north and associate with white folks. You had better stay right here with your own race and not seek social equality with white folks who don't want you. We give you fair warning. Stay in your place." K. K. K. "John! John! You Mustn't go," pleaded his mother, as she recalled her husband's fate in it's full horror. "Ih going, Ma, whatever it costs. I'm an American citizen and no bunch of cowardly white folks can rob me of my right to leave." "John! John! You Mustn't go," pleaded his mother, as she recalled her husband's fate in it's full horror. "I'm going, Ma, whatever it costs. I'm an American citizen and no bunch of cowardly white folks can rob me of my right to leave." Following the earnest entreaties of his mother and his friends he finally promised to postpone his going. Two nights later, kissing his mother goodbye, he stole out with a heavy but expectant heart. Firmly grasped in his hand was a borrowed revolver. It was quite dark, save for the stars, the town was asleep. No sign of anyone anywhere. He reached the outskirts of the town; still no one. They were only trying to bluff him.

I was nearly "shocked" into a phosphate mine down there for no reason at all except for the sheriff to get his fee and the nine-owner his man. Many of the nine-owner are northern hoboes and Southern Negroes. That is why the people do not worry about it. Hoboes are a pest down there in winter; as for that matter they are anywhere at any time. BITTER FIGHT FOR RACE DOCTORS FOR VETS HOS.

Veteran's Hospital at Tuskegee, being manned with colored nurses and nurses is being fought bitterly by tain white southerners. The Governor of Alabama, members of the Alabama and Georgia congressional delegations and various other southern representatives have wired and are sending pleas to Washington in an effort to have white men and women placed in charge of this hospital for Negro veterans. It is being contended that not enough competent professionally trained men and women are available among colored people, the white doctors of colored people, desiring to have all important positions performed by whites with colored people performing the lesser and poorer paid tasks, such as orderlies, staff nurses, etc. BIGGEST RACE PUBLISHING HOUSE IN WORLD PLANNED (By The Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tonn.-Final plans have been completed for the erection of the largest colored publishing house in the world and it will cost approximately $350,000 and the home of the Sunday School Publishing Board of the National Baptist Convention of the U.

MAN SENTENCED TO HANG FOUR TIMES MAN SENTENCED TO HANG FOUR TIMES Waco, Texas—The case of Roy Mitchell, which has attracted wide attention because of alleged confessions of almost a dozen murders, has already received five sentences to be hung. There are still pending eight other cases against him; none of the other complaints are for murder, and the grand jury has not yet acted. Of all the trials, the jury was one of the longest during the last trial—ten minutes. The unprecedented succession of trials resulted from an expressed determination by city and county authorities to clear up through the courts all unsolved murders in and about Waco in the last year. "Justice" by lynching and shooting was decirse the authorities and unappreciated by the mayor to let justice take its course through the court," has been heeded here, as strange as it may seem. In the meantime, Mitchell declares that he was mide the "goat" for the big array of murders, and whatever confession there may have been, was brought about by force.

It is not forgotten that the Negro, speaking collectively, is often unmindful of his own economic welfare. Centuries of servitude tended to make him dependent and improvident. Thus it seems more or less paradoxical to state that the remarkable progress of the race since the day of emancipation is traceable more directly to cooperation among its members than to are mixed paternalism exorcised in their behalf by their white neighbors and friends. Dr. Moton cheerfully and generously acknowledges, on behalf of those for whom he speaks, the helpful consideration shown by the southern people for the Negro. But the patronizing solicitude displayed has not been the reconstructing and redeeming influence which has advanced a race from abject ignorance and dependency to a position which probably has never been attained by any other subject people in so short a time. Dr. Moton calls the attention, not only of his own people but of the people of the Nation as a whole, to the fact that since the year 1866 the number of Negroes owning their own homes in the United States has increased from 12,000 in that year to 650,000 at the present time. In the year following the close of the Civil War, 220,000 farms in the country were being operated by Negroes, whereas members of that race today own and till approximately 1,000,000 farms. In the same period the number of business institutions conducted by Negroes has increased from 2,100 How would this beautiful, sweet face look if it was surrounded with short, snarly and unruly hair?

It is one for which all the people of the great Nation in which the story has been written should be grateful. But over and beyond this achievement is the intellectual enlightenment which has come to the Negroes. Perhaps they have advanced in mental more than in material attainment. They have been alert in their search for that knowledge which would bring to them a better understanding of the problems which they must meet and solve. Equipped, originally, with a crude philosophy but slightly removed from blinding superstition, they have gradually aided in an emancipation which is destined finally to free them from a bondage more terrible than that from which they escaped at so great a cost.

SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1923 NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE PAGE NINE What Is Going On in the Churches Instructor of Theology and the English Bible, Virginia Seminary and College, Lynchburg, Va. MOSES: LIBERATOR AND LAW GIVER: Exodus 2: 15; 25; 32: 1: 33; 23: Deuteronomy 34: 1: 8. Print, Ex. 14: 10, 13-22.) Golden Text.-Fear ye not, stand-still and see the salvation of Jehovah.-Ex. 14: 13. 1. The Children of Israel Cry un- jehovah. v. 10. to Jenavani. "It was indeed a fearful situation, humanly speaking. On one side was an unarmed and undisciplined host-men, women, and children, cattle, baggage, animals, intermixed wholly for war, ignorant of it, without arms, without training, discipline. On It was inexact, humanly speaking. On one side was an unarmed and undisciplined host-men, women, and children, cattle, baggage, animals, intermixed -wholly unprepared for war, ignorant of it, without arms, without training, without discipline. On the other side were the trained bands, the warrior troops, which the great Rameses had so often led to victory, and which had recently confronted and destroyed the hosts of Marmau, son of Deid, who had threatened Ferc with conquest. Rawlinson. When the Israelites saw the host of Pharaoh marching after them, they lost hope; they became sore afraid, and cried unto Jehovah. These times people also rebuked Moses. Vs. 11-13. "The appeal to Jehovah showed that, with all their weaknesses and imperfections, Israelites were true at heart. They knew where alone help was to be obtained, and made their appeal accordingly. No cry is sure of an answer than the despairing one." Lord, save us: we perish. Pulp. Com. 2. Moses Receives Divine Assurance and Direction, vs. 13-18. God moves in a mysterious way. His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps on the sea and rides upon the storm. Jebahov admonishes Moses not to cry unto him, but command the Israelites to go forward. The following directions are given by Jehovah to Moses divide the sea, stretching your arm over it, and lead the children of Israel into the midst of the sea on your ground. Verse 13th assures Moses that Jehovah shall be with him to save and preserve him and the people V. 14. Jehovah will fight for you. "Moses did not know even yet what the manner of the deliverance would be, whether hail would fall and destroy the Egyptian host, or the earth guard and allow them to go up, and then them in their tents during the night, but he was confident that in one way or another Israel would be delivered." Robinson. Jehovah takes the responsibility for hardening the hearts of the Egyptians. We know that the sins of the Egyptians caused Jehovah to harden their hearts. And they shall pursue after the children of Israel into the sea; then shall Jehovah get nomorh himself upon Pharoah, upon his honourmen and charikots. Then shall the Egyptians acknowledge the sovereignty and majesty of Jehovah. "Parahod had just recovered from the consternation and confusion with which the late plagues had overwhelmed him, and now he is emboldened to pursue after Israel; and God is determined to make his overthrow so signal by such and exertion of omnipotence that he shall get himself honoured by this maraculous act, and that the Egyptians shall know, 1. e., acknowledge that he is Jehovah, the competent, self existing, eternal God. Charice. 3. Moses leads Israel out of Egypt. ts. 19.22. Men of morals admire Moses because he put the laws of right and wrong in the form so clear that they still hold in all courts of justice. Men of faith revere him because he is the master of those who endure as seeing him who is invisible. Men of intellect reverence Moses because of his many-sided greatness, for he is the one myriad-minded man. Practical men look up to him because by way of preeminence he is the man of achievement who gets things doe. the natural king, as Carlyle said, who alls wills into his. The story of his deeds is the most amazing story in the history of great men."-Hilis. Moses with the aid of Jehovah led the children of Israel safely across the Red Sea. The record says that God's angel went before the Israelites and cloud separated between Israel and her enemies. Israel had light, the Egyptians had darkness. The waters of the sea were divided, the people of God went through the sea as it was dry ground. The host dearah pursuing after was drowned. This then is the true miracle; that when our poor life has been driven to a point from which there seemed to be no escape, God has shown an opening in the rock, or a way through the deep; and we who expected to perish because the way was ended have been enabled to enter upon larger liberties." Parker. BRIGGSOGRAMS Man's extremity is God's opportuni- God never fails those who trust and oey him. The only safe leader to follow is the leader in whose heart is the fear God. The folly of the wicked will eventually prove their confusion and destruction. On Sunday morning, April 22, at the Bank Street Baptist Church there will be rendered at the regular service, under the direction of Mr. Wm. Peacock, organist, a retial by Mr. H. Elo, a native abraham who received his training in Europe and is said to possess a voice of rare range and power. The number which is well mixed to his choice and style is "A Song of Thanksgiving" by Alisonin. Mr. Peacock will accompany Mr. Elo. On Sunday night the choir will render the sacred cantata, "Our Living Lord," to which the public is cordially invited. This cantata was rendered Easter Sunday and was witnessed by large congregation of both colored and white. It is repeated by request. Mr. Wm. Peacock, organist and director. Preaching At First Baptist Church [Image of a black man with a white shirt and dark hair, looking directly at the camera. The background is a plain, light color. There are no other discernible elements in the image.] --- The image provided is a black and white photograph of a man. He appears to be middle-aged with dark hair, and he is wearing a dark suit with a white shirt. The photograph is quite old, likely from the early 20th century, judging by the style of the clothing and the monochrome tone. There are no visible texts or distinguishing features that can be read from this image. Rev. W. H. R. Powell, pastor of the Carron Street Baptist Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa., is the special preacher in the present series of evangelical services at the First Baptist Church. The Reverend Mr. Powell is a graduate of Virginia Seminary, at Lynchburg, and of Lincoln University. He has held several successful pastorates and is a convincing and pleasing speaker. Large crowds are hearing him each night. A new feature of evangelism is being tried out by Dr. Powell. He is calling to his aid a large number of personal workers, who are combing the town over on the outlook for the unbelieving and the unchurched. This personal work along with Dr. Powell's earnest preaching is producing results. The meetings will end this coming Friday night. SECOND CALVARY Prayer meeting opened at 6:30.

On Monday night there was a large attendance of members to take part in the closing church service of the conference year.

BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH The Bethelhem Baptist Church is making great progress. The Sunday school is taking on new members every Sunday. The church services are interesting and spiritual. Each Sunday morning the pastor seems to appear at his best and a good crowd is on hand to greet him. Last Sunday he preached from the topic, "Supreme Power." The audience was bathed in tears as he protrayed the different elements or characteristics with regards to Christ. In the afternoon a large crowd of visitors attended the conference second Sunday in May the five auxiliary will out and there will be a new rally. Each captain is striving to be in the lead.

D. and other national characters of the congregation, several of them second Sunday in June will be the raily day when each member is expected to pay according to his vow.

M. Harrison, p. by A. M. Brown, D. C. ST. PAUL BEATS KITTRELL; LOSES TO NATIONAL TRAINING Unpublished History of Football and Baseball (By J. M. HARRISON) Despite racial discriminatic field of athletics in America, the colored man in the world of sports holds records hard to be excelled. From jockeys down to field, track, gridiron, diamond and the roped arena, when an act of chance be has more than made good. PETER J. HARRIS Lewis, the great Harvard, All-American center, who by the way is a Ports- mouth man; Matthews, Bullock, Frank, and Charley Grant, the latter whom McGraw once tried to pass as an Indian, and Monroe, have demonstrated more than average ability, believe it was the late "Pop" Anson, who tempted of Negroes to break into professional baseball. The Negro as a baseball attraction, with comedy to intersperse his work. Clarence Williams, Monroe and Buckner were of this type, while "Kid" Carter, silent "Dan" McClennan, "Rube" Foster, both Grants, were of a different class. In later years, "Home Run" Johnson, Lloyd, Bill Pettus, the Taylor brothers of A.B. C. fame, have graced the game with ability and highest skill, and in justice to them must say go into each game to win on merit and in the ability of judgments. Lundy, the brilliant youngster from Georgia, captain of Atlantic City Bacharach is one of the most brilliant players in the game today. For gracefulness, he reminds one of Lajose in his palmy days. WINNING AND LOSING MY POPULARITY I mentioned briefly in a previous article the game in which Tom Wade of the Chamberlain club blanked the Hyegeias. That game gave the bitterest feeling to crop out between the players, followers and employees of Potomacs Rounding In Form For Circuit Richmond, Va.—Ben Taylor and his Washington Potomacs are taking advantage of the warm days that are to be found in this section and are fast rounding into the best possible form for this time of year. Taylor has his squand out every day for a four hour drill. In his squad of over twenty men, he has some very formidable looking youngsters and in all probability will develop some of them to the ranks of starmom. Joe Washington, a youngster from Georgia, looks and acts the part of a good outfielder; he is big and strong and can cover lots of ground. He takes a good healthy cut at the bat and fields and throws from the off side of the plate. Woods, Jefferson and Brown, all veterans and well known to the fans are showing lots of early season pep. Woods is especially working hard, as the Eats that he can play ball this year; he claims he was with so many clubs in the West that he never got a chance to settle down and show just what he could do. One of the most promising looking youngsters in the Potomac's camp is Joe Goodrich, of Texas. Manager Taylor freely predicts that before the season is half over Goodrich will be ranked along with the third best basemen in the game. Unlike most Texans, he is short and stocky. He is fast on his feet and fields clean and is especially good on hard hit balls. Goodrich bats from the right side and from early season work will be one of Taylor's best bitters. The pitchers are fast rounding into shape; the veterans Ross and Carr are almost in midseason form. Maurice Williams, the big right-hander, who came to the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s two years ago, and was a sensation until he injured his salary wing, looks good and in all probability will come through in fine style this season. Williams states that his arm does not hurt like it did last spring and that he has for almost every year. Among the young pitchers, he are THE PALACE The Palace is maintaining its popularity Uptown and is leading the unown playhouses in attendance. Manager Lewis says that the掌舀 holds its own because the entertainer is a local resident and judging from the manner in which the patrons cannibalize their appreciation it is true. A splendid candelabra groups hold the beads at the Palace this week, and carry out the task a real while. It was one of the best seen at the Palace, in one month. seen at the Palace in early months. Next week Johnnie Lee Long's Shu Shi Shu Company, direct from New York as looked to entertain the Palace Patrons. First hand information has it that it is one of snappiest girls roster in the company's girls roster is a beautiful of beautiful dancing girls that defy competition. Those who enjoy good singing, good dancing and witty comedy will not fail to see Shu Shi Shu. On the picture program for the first half of the week, Pearl Paula is featured in "A Virgin Puppet" A Witch Puppet and a story of the single and civilized beauty. That it is a Fox production and a Pearl White Picture is an assurance that it is the best. Those who enjoy the thrilling adventures of the Witch Puppet have the pleasure of feasting in their varied and colorful week as the feature is "Across the Border" stirring Big Boy Williams. The Second episode of "Speed" the Whirlwind Serial, featuring Chas. Hutchinson was screened the first half of this week. Judging from the two episodes already seen, the Whirlwind Serial yet excited. It is what makes Hutchinson thriller. "Speed" is screened the first half of each week. THE MANHATTAN "Around the world in 18 Days" popular serial screened at the Manhattan every Monday is holding the interest of the Manhattan Patrons with vie-like grip. This charming feature allows running at the Manhattan store to be viewed by guests at cat groves. "The Man From Home" on Monday's bill is a picture with a very strong appeal and will certainly win with those who love good drama. It is hard to pick out the best features for the week on the Manhattan store. "The Man from Home" the program for each day will hold something instructive, inspiring and entertaining. both hotels from headwaiters, clerks, chefs and scullers. To live at Old Point, Hampton or Pheebus, one had to be partisan. The game was played under an agreement, winner take all gate receipts. John Williams, our manager, was selling tickets and when "Bob" Scott, our catcher, complained about lime from the home plate getting in his eye and refused to continue the game, ordering us from the field, most of our followers agreed to the unsponsorlike and cowardly act. was the only player to protest against it, saying, "The only team defeating the Hyegeias was entitled to it; do not hold the field like a lot of curs." My protest counted for nothing but the effect of my being regarded as a disloyal traitor. During the excitement which almost took on riot proportions, Williams slipt from the ticket box into a bus and drove rapidly to Old Point. Our team was jeered and cheered by hostile and friendly rooters. From my stand taken for justice and fair play I soon became ostracised. The Hygeia adherents did not seem to realize that old motto: "To the victor belong the spoils." The upshot of it all was the severance of athletic relations between the clubs. We played few games thereafter, except with the Norfolk Red Stockings and St. Clair teams. I stood by my original position and had the keen satisfaction several months later, of being designated at a meeting of our club, to carry to the Chamberlain team their hard and well earned money. Jim Gray, their head waiter, often spoke of my courage and honesty, and after cool judgement followed the events of that day, my former critics became my staunch friends. In after years while at Howard, Jim Gray and his secretary, Lou Costely, opened up a cafe on Pennsylvania avenue, next to the Belasco Theatre, he always took occasion to speak warmly of my attitude when introducing me to his many friends, many of whom being leaders of Washington's social and political life. showing up are Albrritten, from Philadelphia; Lefty Williams, from Albany, Ga., and Bullet Campbell, from Boston. These men have the makings of good pitchers, with Campbell having the edge because of his great physique; he is a six footer and tips the scales at one hundred-ninety; has worlds to spell out with ball; Manager Taylor expects him to turn many games on the won side of the score card this season. The catching staff will be well represented with Eggleston and a youngster from the winter league in Porto Rico. Eggleston looks even better than *siddurupu* in *kajang* and *kamp* he takes the position. Clark, the Potomac's star short stop is expected to in camp any day from Porto Rico. He is expected to bring along several promising players with him. Manager Taylor, "the old reliable" is getting into fine shape himself. He looks and acts like one of the youngsters and is stinging the old apple in his old time form; the fans know what this means. He confided to the writer that he expects to have one of his best years. All in all, Ben Taylor's Washington Potomac looks to be well able to set the pace in the east this season and the Capitol City fans are sure to have a team they can be proud of. St. Paul Gets $500 Lawrenceville, Va.—St. Paul School received a check for $500 from a friend in Pennsylvania for gymnasium apparatus. This is the second substantial gift of this nature made to St. Pauls by this person. Order has already been placed with the Narrangansett Machine Company, of Providence, R. L., for the equipment. The $500 addition completes the plans as drawn by this reputable concern. The director of gymnastics states that the additional apparatus installed before May 10th. This order will increase the value of St. Paul's gymnasium equipment to $1,500. of The Apocalypse" Rudolph Valentino will be on Portsmouth Colonial bill twice next week the first half in "Blood and Sand" and the second half in the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse." Every citizen of Portsmouth, Norfolk, and vicinity will have the opportunity to see two of the greatest pictures ever shown in any theatre for colored people in a single week in the state of Virginia. Valentino is said by some of the best sport writers to be the greatest lover on the screen. Here's the real screen sensation of the season. Rudolph as a hot blooded toreder; the dashing idol of Spain, he many loves in a story in Blasco Danez, author of the "Four Horsemen." You will see Valentino risking his life in the most spectacular sport known to man-bull fighting; you will see him lured by the maddening beauty of a Spanish temptress; you will see all the romance, the fiery passions of Spain in a picture a thousand times bigger than the "Sheik," produced in lavish splendor by the man who made the "Three Musketeers" the greatest Valentino triumph ever known. Added attraction, Larry Semon in the "Sportsman," a comedy that will make you laugh until you cry. Fighting Jack Dempsey in "Daredevil Jack," a fight every minute. Wednesday, double feature: Frank Mayo in "The First Degree," Thomas Meighan in "The City of Silent Men." "Blighting the Joy of his Wedding Day," the Shadows of Prison Walls," and the "Arms of love had to yield to the Law." The Four Horsemen is a million dollar photoplay, the fulfillment of St. John's prophecy; the greed for world dominion calling forth, conquest, war, famine and pestilence from the lair of the blast of the whole civilization. Drops Two Out of Three On North Carolina Trip NORFOLK JOURNAL AND GUIDE (By J. L. WHITEHEAD) Kittrell, N. C.—In a game featured by errors, flashes of fast fielding and uniform hitting; St. Paul School lucked out and defeated the sturdy nine representing Kittrell College by the score of 12 to 10. Kittrell had the game on ice in the seventh inning, when, by bunching hits, and taking advantage of St. Paul's bad plays, they gained a lead of five plays. In the eighth act St. Paul staged a cruel rally and gained a run one run margin. The orange and black earned one run in the ninth which ended the scoring. St. Paul used three pitchers in an effort to stop Kittrell's hitting. Bruce's catch with the bases full, ending in a double play, Bruce to Harris, and Madduxt's homer, were the features of the game. Joyner's footwork on the paths resulted in his stealing four bases. Durham, N. C.—A dozen errors by St. Paul and twelve stolen bases by the locals, played a large part in the defeat which St. Paul received at the hands of National Training School. Utilizing everything which came their way, N. T. S. tucked away the first of the two-game series by a score of 10 to 1. St. Paul's batting and outfielding were of a superior calibre, and the work of their moundsman was on par with that of the National, but poor playing overshadowed the doings of St. Paul's infield. Nutall's catching and throwing were good, while Coward, Coffeld and Penny displayed a varied style of play for the National. The second game began promptly at four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon with each opponent confident of victory. Things went nip and tuck for four innings with neither team gaining any advantage. The National boys got their speed and dexterity to working effectively in the fifth inning, and for the last three innings they raised have with St. Paul stubborn defense. At times it looked as though St. Paul had come back, for their infield was rejuvenated and played in old form, their slabmounded the ball right and left and the outfielders allowed but one error to their discredit—but, notwithstanding all of that, the Tarheels simply output the Sorebacks. Vallée played the game for St. Paul. Bruce, Williams, Cooke, and Madden were on the alert, while Maddux, Collins, Cuffee, Blackwell, Captain Harris and Wharton uncovered rare diamond stunts. Nutall was the mainstay for the National. Harris, Coward, Alston. Neville, Cofield and Penn played their best game; their throwing, fielding and batting were opportune, and they revealed a natural aptitude for the national pastime. BOX SCORES OF GAMES ST.

While the game may not be much of an athletic event, it will be a social feature. Tom Reed and Wilson, of Portsmouth will join with the Norfolk Equires, and Barco and McGriff with the Norfolk doctors. While this question of professional supremacy has been unsettled for ages, Norfolk and Portsmouth people will have a chance soon to judge for themselves. The lineup of the lawyers has not been decided, but it is rumored that Land, Diggs, Hodges, Howell, Walter Davis and others of the local har, will be out and it is said that "Piggy" Harrison will be smoked out of retirement to assist in defending the honor of the lawyers. The game will be pulled off for charity, but the intense rivalry means blood. MEN GUARD AGAINST VENERAL DISEASES PROCLAINE prevents these Infections. Easy to use and effective.
